Jeremiah 36:16-26

16When they had heardH8085 allH3605 the wordsH1697, they turnedH6342 in 1fearH6342 oneH376 to anotherH7453 and saidH559 to BaruchH1263, “We will surelyH5046 2reportH5046 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to the kingH4428.” 17And they askedH7592 BaruchH1263, sayingH559, “TellH5046 us, pleaseH4994, 3howH349 did you writeH3789 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697? Was it 4at his dictationH6310?” 18Then BaruchH1263 saidH559 to them, “He 5dictatedH4480H6310H7121 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to me, and I wroteH3789 them with inkH1773 on the bookH5612.” 19Then the officialsH8269 saidH559 to BaruchH1263, “GoH1980, 6hideH5641 yourself, you and JeremiahH3414, and do not let anyone knowH3045 whereH375 you are.”

20So they wentH935 to the 7kingH4428 in the courtH2691, but they had depositedH6485 the scrollH4039 in the chamberH3957 of 8ElishamaH476 the scribeH5613, and they reportedH5046H241 allH3605 the wordsH1697 to the kingH4428. 21Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 JehudiH3065 to getH3947 the scrollH4039, and he tookH3947 it out of the chamberH3957 of ElishamaH476 the scribeH5613. And JehudiH3065 9readH7121 it to the kingH4428 as well as to allH3605 the officialsH8269 who stoodH5975 besideH4480H5921 the kingH4428. 22Now the kingH4428 was sittingH3427 in the 10winterH2779 houseH1004 in the 11ninthH8671 monthH2320, with a fire burningH1197 in the brazierH254 beforeH6440 him. 23When JehudiH3065 had readH7121 threeH7969 or fourH702 columnsH1817, the king cutH7167 it with a scribe’sH5613 knifeH8593 and 12threwH7993 it into the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254, untilH5704 allH3605 the scrollH4039 was consumedH8552 in the fireH784 that was in the brazierH254. 24Yet the kingH4428 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 who heardH8085 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 were 13not afraidH6342, norH3808 did they 14rendH7167 their garmentsH899. 25Even thoughH1571 ElnathanH494 and DelaiahH1806 and GemariahH1587 15pleadedH6293 with the kingH4428 not to burnH8313 the scrollH4039, he would not listenH8085 to them. 26And the kingH4428 commandedH6680 JerahmeelH3396 the king’sH4428 sonH1121, SeraiahH8304 the sonH1121 of AzrielH5837, and ShelemiahH8018 the sonH1121 of AbdeelH5655 to 16seizeH3947 BaruchH1263 the scribeH5613 and JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, but the 17LordH3068 hidH5641 them.
